Halloween Week!

This week's theme was Halloween! It has been so fun filled, and I'm rather sad it's over.

Monday: The girls did a water play activity. Once Ares was out of school, Kyle and I picked him up, and then we went over to my mom's for dinner. Then later that evening we went to Ares' first school concert (he had the stomach flu for his Kindergarten one last year). He was so excited because he was able to wear his Batman costume for it. He did an amazing job, and I am so proud of him!

Tuesday: We carved our pumpkins! I had the kids tell me what they each wanted on their pumpkins. The order is the right to left. Ares wanted a mean face, Ceridwen wanted Abby (as in Abby Cadabby), and Brigid wanted a baby. This is what I came up with. Don't you just love my drawing ability. ;)

The girls loved digging out the pumpkin guts, but Ares was not thrilled. Once he did it though he loved playing with them.

Here's their finished pumpkins!

Wednesday: I let the pumpkin seeds from our pumpkin carving soak overnight, and roasted them on Wednesday. I mixed them with a little olive oil and salt, baked them at 350 for 20 min, and they were fabulous!

 Since Ares' dad gets him every year for Halloween, I have always taken Ares out to trick or treat with family the night before. This year I had Ares dress up as Batman, and I made the twins costumes by myself. Brigid was Poison Ivy and Ceridwen was Harley Quinn.

Thursday: After taking Ares to school, the girls and I went over to my best friend Kyle Ann's house. The kids had a play date while Kyle Ann and I made candy apples with sprinkles for Ares class party, and a cake for her mother in law. I then brought the apples home and wrapped them all pretty for his class.

I then delivered these to Ares' class party, and his class loved them! It was such a fun party, and I got to talk to meet a lot of the parents for those kids who weren't in his class last year.

Friday: Since Halloween is officially over I had the girls do the exploding pumpkin science project. I poured baking soda into the pumpkins, had the girls add food coloring, and then watch the bubbles explode out of the pumpkin in fun colors.
